"Ketchup is the universal condiment that seems to go well on almost everything. No burger night is complete without it, and people even love it with scrambled eggs (controversial, I know!). While I always have it on hand, I don't love the bottle itself. Due to ketchup's smearable consistency, the stuff can go everywhere when you're just trying to squeeze a little bit. Then it gets all gunked up in the cap or on the outside of the container. (Gross!)"
"Rather than taking off the plastic seal, instead you leave it on. Then, use the pointy bit on the top part of the lid to poke a hole in the seal, close it up, and put the plastic cap back on top. Voilà! Now you can better control the ketchup and only squeeze out just as much as you need and prevent too much coming out at once (a mistake I've made one too many times)."
Ketchup often smears and accumulates on bottle caps and exteriors because of its thin, smearable consistency. Many people remove the plastic seal before first use, which can lead to uncontrolled dispensing and mess. A cap feature includes a small pointy piece designed to pierce the seal while leaving the seal attached. Puncturing the seal with that point concentrates the outlet and allows for controlled squeezing. Replacing the cap after puncturing prevents excess ketchup from escaping and from hardening on the lid. The approach minimizes waste, reduces external gunk, and provides more precise portion control.
